A revolt in Yemen last September ousted the centuries-old dynasty of the Imam and installed a "republic" that has ever since been propped up by 20,000 Egyptian troops sent in by Gamal Abdel Nasser. In two bloody days' work last month, Iraqi army officers deposed and killed psychotic Dictator Abdul Karim Kassem. Last week, on a quiet, grey Friday morning, the infection reached Syria...

The bodyguard of a headman serving Matanzima got into a tribal fight with 40 warriors armed with spears and axes. Matanzima quickly mustered 500 men to crush the revolt, and South African police stood by with a truckload of men and a helicopter. The rebels fled into the hills. Police blamed the trailer murders and the tribal outbreak on the increasing influence of Poqo (pronounced Paw-kaw), an African terrorist society whose members, like Kenya's notorious...
